New York, NY – Anyone who's ever tried to figure out anything about building permits in Brooklyn knows the names of the Brothers Fekete (Jacob and Hershey) because they look they appear on every building that's going up in Williamsburg and other neighborhoods.

The Feketes are expediters who push plans through the Buildings Department bureaucracy for architects like Karl Fischer and help get permits issued.
It's a good business: there are 2,800 of them, up from just 2,200 two years ago.
The two men, who are the construction industry equivalents of Eli and Peyton Manning, albeit with some personal drama and some legal issues thrown in.
Sadly, the older brother Jacob may not be expediting more buildings for a while, as he's got some troubles, but Hershey is still going strong and expediting things. [Curbed]
Is the company name Building Solutions? I hope he will not get in trouble. Is Karl Fischer in trouble also? With all the yiddelich in the business of construction I hope nothing else will G-d forbid come up. I hope none of them would have to stop. We do need more places to live.
It is nice to have hemisha people doing the building. They of course need parnasa.
